Forget the negative reviews from viewers who missed the point of the film, especially any that suggest an association with pedophilia. This is a coming of age film.
Who among us doesn't remember the angst of growing up feeling we were somehow inadequate, that our bodies weren't developing fast enough? Lord knows I did. I bet we all have stories to tell. The telling of one such story is what writer/director Evan Roberts did so well with this film. Will it win any awards? Not likely. Will it help us to remember our own similar experiences from our youth? Absolutely.
Give it a chance. You'll be glad you did.
